Kaplan–Meier tests and log-rank tests were used to describe the survival. Chi-squared tests and Spearman and Mann–Whitney U correlation tests were also employed. The mean survival time was shorter in children with severe versus moderate malnutrition at admission (49 days vs. 101 days; log-rank p<em> =</em> 0.042). The survival time was shorter in children with severe acute malnutrition at the time of admission. Survival time of children with moderate acute malnutrition was shorter in children who came from rural areas compared to urban areas. Severe acute malnutrition was associated with hospital stays, death rates, or transfer to another hospital. Practical implications: the results of this study may improve the care of children with malnutrition.</p> Maria Inmaculada Sanchez-Lopez, Maria Del Mar Giner-Oliver, Marta Lluesma-Vidal, Laura Garcia-Garces, Carmen Trull-Ahuir, Cayetana Ruiz-Zaldibar Copyright (c) 2023 http://archive.conscientiabeam.com/index.php/98/article/view/3315 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0600
